Apple, just so you know, this is the behavior that causes people to hate you. Even worse, the API is getting shut down in 2021 which is used by hundreds of other weather apps for both iOS and Android.

Very lame. Boo! https://t.co/kxCfmEX5mr
Two thoughts: Dark Sky as a Mac Catalyst app = awesome. Dark Sky as a Weather+ subscription service = ???
— Zac Hall (@apollozac) March 31, 2020
also if you use the iOS app, i wouldn’t count on that living on forever either, though the company isn’t confirming it’s dead like the Android app is.

I have never been more emotionally invested in the acquisition of a company that I wasn't a financial stakeholder in. I LOVE DarkSky. https://t.co/nM6RvTPYWM

Huge congrats to @DarkSkyApp! @hmason
Apple buys Dark Sky (my favorite weather app). The $3.99 app remains paid on the App Store, removed from Android. https://t.co/sHstBzVzI6

Yes! I would *love* to see the Dark Sky API made free for all iOS developers – immediate weather for things like calendars, maps, and more. https://t.co/gOp8fphzcj

Seems kinda anticompetitive for anyone that was consuming the data ?♀️

Dark Sky is $3.99 in the App Store and is ranked the #1 iOS weather app. Here is what Apple's App Store team had to say about the app (Editors' Choice). pic.twitter.com/ubFbj4Kz1Z

Apple buying Dark Sky is a good test for my general "acquisitions are bad" instinct: iOS having a great weather app is a good market solution, as people won't download any of the extremely shady third-party weather apps that sell location data. Discuss.https://t.co/foedReQUWQ

Good for the team, but killing the Android app is a total dick move https://t.co/U1jaGETjZW
— Owen Williams ⚡ (@ow) March 31, 2020
Dark Sky’s Android app has been around for four years and has over a million downloads according to the Play Store, so it’s not like it wasn’t used on the platform. Apple killing it is just out of spite.

Dark Sky started as a $35,000 Kickstarter project in 2015. Quite an accomplishment - it’ll now be rolled into iOS. https://t.co/SuSAAS6553

Why isn't Dark Sky free at Apple Store?
— Kontra (@counternotions) March 31, 2020
Apple needs the $3.99 it brings in, obviously.
outside of Dark Sky, weather apps on Android are a minefield of privacy issues/bad design/obnoxious ads.
— dan seifert (@dcseifert) March 31, 2020
i guess I’m just going to have to use the crappy app that comes installed on the phone now?
So Apple just bought the best weather app, Dark Sky, and they're shutting down the Android version. Booooooo (RIP)https://t.co/EQTFWJjUlj pic.twitter.com/1o2pi4bzU1

This acquisition will impact A LOT of 3rd party weather apps.

애플, 날씨 앱 '다크 스카이' 인수
— Wan Ki Choi (@wkchoi) March 31, 2020
- 이 인수와 함께 안드로이드 용 '다크 스카이' 앱 중단
- 캐롯 웨더 같이 인기 앱이 사용한 API는 새로운 사인업을 중단하고 기존 사용자의 공식 중단은 2022년이 될 것이라고 말해
- 현재 iOS 앱, 구매 가능하지만 미래에 iOS에 통합될 것 https://t.co/Pk1ZRpOJTS

애플이 날씨 앱인 다크 스카이를 인수했다고 앱 개발팀이 발표. iOS 버전은 없어지지 않지만, 이미 안드로이드 버전은 판매가 중지됐고, 다른 써드파티 앱에 제공하던 API도 2021년까지만 서비스. https://t.co/nQQabL8rZv pic.twitter.com/Odh4hvKYT0

Apple can be such a corporate dick. Example: It buys a deservedly popular weather service, shuts down a great API, and kills the Android version. https://t.co/E93MTnOcU3
